Discover the natural healing powers of balanced health with homeopathy
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy, originating in the late 18th century as a response to the harsh medical treatments of that era, is guided by some fundamental principles aimed at developing gentler yet effective therapies.
One such principle is 'like cures like,' where a minute, energetically imprinted amount of a substance can elicit a healing response to symptoms, even though the same substance may cause similar symptoms in a susceptible individual.
For instance, a homeopathic remedy derived from Allium Cepa, the onion ( known for inducing watery eyes and a runny nose), can alleviate similar symptoms in colds and allergies, if they closely match the way they would be experienced by a healthy individual peeling an onion.
Similarly, Coffea cruda, a remedy derived from coffee, proves beneficial for individuals in states of heightened stimulation or overstimulation, helping to restore calmness and promote better sleep. This aligns with the understanding that excessive consumption of coffee can lead to similar jittery states.
A second founding principle of homeopathy is employing just the minimum dose necessary to initiate a healing response.
“ Homeopathy, a captivating blend of science and art, encompasses both the study of anatomy, physiology, pathology, dis-ease, and the understanding of homeopathic philosophy and materia medica. Uniting these areas in practice is the skill of the professional homeopath, informing and establishing the profound therapeutic relationship with their client.”
From a scientific perspective,
Although my homeopathy four year training course included biological science through a two-year module on Anatomy and Physiology, complemented by another two-year module dedicated to Pathology and Disease, both of which proved very interesting; it was the holistic perspective and individualised nature inherent in homeopathic treatment that truly sets it apart.
It entails the holistic understanding of each client, carefully considering their history of physical and emotional events and traumas, and the precise nature of their presenting symptoms upon their initial consultation.
A homeopath must carefully match the totality of the client's unique profile to the diverse range of remedies available, each possessing its own distinct picture, symptoms, and mind-body responses. The treatment plan may involve a single remedy or a succession of remedies, complemented by recommendations for relaxation techniques, dietary adjustments, sleep routines, and more.
By addressing the root cause of symptoms while simultaneously alleviating the discomfort of the current state, homeopathy aims to reduce susceptibility to specific symptoms, allowing the body to embark on a healing journey. It is important to note that diseases often manifest in layers, and as the topmost layer is healed, previously concealed symptoms may emerge, gradually treated in a sequential manner. This progressive approach guides the client toward a state of improved health, gradually restoring balance and well-being.

Any disruption to the intricate interplay of lifestyle factors, for example in the areas of nutrition, hydration, digestion, quality of sleep, ability to relax, work-life balance, family dynamics, and social interactions, can significantly impact one's well-being. External factors like accidents, or physical interventions of dental treatment or surgery, for example, can also contribute to an imbalance and give the potential for symptoms to arise.

As a homeopath, I strive to develop a deep understanding of a client’s unique personal response to life events, daily routines, and undue stress. Working with individuals across all age groups, I engage in a process akin to detective work, deciphering their individual patterns and determining which remedies would be most beneficial in each specific case.
I consider it part of my role to gently educate clients on healthy living practices as they become more aware and receptive to a need for change.

There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing a client's return, brimming with renewed energy and improved resilience, as their symptoms gradually subside. It brings me immense joy when previously distressing issues fade into the background, and are rarely mentioned again unless I inquire about them. Furthermore, I cherish moments when clients start to cultivate a greater awareness of their ability to proactively maintain their own health and take responsibility for the well-being of themselves and their families.
“…From a holistic perspective, I firmly believe that any form of stress or trauma, whether physical or emotional, may eventually manifest in the form of symptoms. To effectively address the surface-level symptoms presented by clients, it is often informative to gain a comprehensive understanding of their symptom patterns over time. This information aids in identifying homeopathic remedy pictures that closely align with their experiences, thus guiding the treatment plan. The art and skill of a homeopath lie in discerning the most suitable remedies and establishing a cohesive sequence that builds upon one another. In certain cases, additional support for specific organs of the body may be useful…”

Couldn't recommend this homeopath enough. I was having issues with my hormones and after an indepth discussion with Anne-marie she prescribed me a remedy. My issues resolved quickly. Anne-Marie has treated my children when they have been poorly and helped me support their immune system. She is kind, approachable, trust worthy and compassionate.
